Transgender Rights Group Demands that NBC/Comcast Apologize for Transphobic Saturday Night Live Skit

"Estro-Maxx" Skit Degrades and Dehumanizes the Lives of Transgender Women

New York, New York - On Saturday, January 29, NBC's Saturday Night Lived aired a cruel and transphobic skit. It revolved around "Estro-Maxx" and it amounted to nothing more than an attack on transgender people.

The piece purported to represent transgender women during gender transition on "Estro-Maxx" hormone therapy, and mocked them with representations of men with facial hair wearing dresses. It was an attack on transgender women, plain and simple.
